So, that aside... I'm about to go to Shattera at level 43, and have to do it in one run. I hear that scrounger is a bit of a beast, but haven't seen her forces yet. So far against Orcs I pretty much always have to target someone so that the shamans don't use spells. I assume Shackles won't work. What spells does Scrounger get up to?

Oh yeah I forgot about that! Good point. I think my problem was I actually had to fight.

Oh man, that is pretty low level for Scrounger.

She doesn't use attack spells as far as I can remember.

Occasionally she will Teleport a stack to you. Most of the time, she uses Phantom.

Good part is, no Geyser or Lightning.

However, Phantom is very problematic because she is an all Orc army, those Phantom goblin shaman might regain Astral Attack. So you either waste a round dispelling, or hope it hits one of YOUR phantoms instead.

There is some randomness on what stacks she can call up. Sometimes there are more Orc Veterans (YUCK), other times, more Ogres (can be bad). Almost always, a large host of Goblin Shaman and Goblins. That is where I saw the Goblins do 5 attacks in a row.

My last game, I saw a stack of 1600 goblins.

My general strategies for it is either somewhat disable, or Summon Storm e.g. keep phantoming units that can summon.

You almost have to drop Ball of Lightning a few times to whittle the enemy down.

You could go Mystic Egg (she usually doesn't go for it, but the board can get crowded), but Ball of Lightning might work better.
